Château du Moulin-à-Vent : Les Vérillats 2015

Wine Advocate-Parker :
The 2015 Moulin A Vent Croix des Verillats comes from granitic soils known as gorrhe that are rich in manganese. The fruit is 75% de-stemmed and 65% is aged in oak for 12 months, 20% new wood. It has an elegant bouquet with red cherries, wild strawberry and crushed violet aromas. The palate is well balanced with supple tannin, crisp acidity and a lithe, almost citrus fresh finish. The new oak is deftly used here, lending a sheen to the wine without encroaching upon its mineralité or terroir expression. Superb.
